[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s unusual to have an SLI eligibility for social communication only when a child has a medical diagnosis of Autism because ASD eligibility would better describe the qualifying condition and the SLI eligibility criteria include certifying that the deficit is NOT due to another disability. That said, the child likely doesn’t meet the restricted/repetitive patterns of behavior or sensory criteria for an ASD eligibility but the school team still feels he needs support. The good news is that eligibility doesn’t drive services, so he will get the necessary services, accommodations and modifications regardless.

The only concern I would have is that not having an ASD eligibility may impact his future eligibility for adult services.[/quote]

This is what I was thinking regarding the IEP placement with their recent meeting. The principal said they would no longer be able to implement his IEP anymore at his home elementary school. So the principal instead tried to place him at a learning center at another school (basically the least restrictive environment) for him. That was why my friend tried to find a psychologist outside of the school and file a mediation against the principal.[/quote]

The change in placement is a much bigger deal than his eligibility category. It's hard to help you when you don't provide the facts up front.

How is he doing in school? What supports is he currently receiving? What is working/not working?[/quote]
